UK progressive metal quintet THRESHOLD released their colossal double concept album “Legends Of The Shires” on September 8th, 2017 through Nuclear Blast. It’s the band’s most successful album to date (#13 Germany, #14 Switzerland, #31 Austria a.o.) and was followed by a rhapsodical 2-week European headline run with several sold out shows. Reasons enough, then, for the band to announce a second leg today. This time, though, THRESHOLD will be performing “Legends Of The Shires” in its entirety and more. Special guests for this trek will also be announced soon. Full tour dates are below.

“We’re really excited about doing this,” commented keyboardist Richard West. “So many fans have asked us to perform the whole of Legends Of The Shires live, and because it’s a concept album I think it’s perfectly suited for this. We can’t wait to get started!”

Threshold have announced a couple of great shows in Germany for this summer. First they will perform at the famous Night Of The Prog festival in Loreley Amphitheater on 13 July which boasts a strong line up including Riverside, Big Big Train, Camel, Steve Hogarth and Isildurs Bane. Then on 14 July they’ll return to Hypothalamus in Rheine for a headline show.

Threshold will return to Italy in 2018 to perform at 2Days Prog +1 Festival on 8th September. The 3 day festival is Italy’s no.1 prog event and will take place in Veruno from 7th to 9th September 2018.

Threshold have been confirmed as headliners for ROSFest in Gettysburg, USA on Saturday 5th May 2018. It will be the band’s first ever appearance at the festival. Other bands announced so far include Brand X, District 97 and PFM. For more information visit http://rosfest.com/
